Every
single cat, frog, pig, rat, rabbit, or other animal who ends up on a dissection
tray was once alive. And NONE of them wanted to die just so that you can cut
apart a corpse. If you and others like you choose not to dissect, millions of
these animals won't be killed, period.

In Colombia, voters have rejected a peace agreement between the government and
the nation’s largest rebel group in a shocking turn of events that threatens to
prolong the nation’s 52-year-old civil war. By a razor-thin vote of 50.2 to 49.8
percent, Colombians rejected the peace deal hammered out with the FARC guerrilla
movement and signed just days ago by President Juan Manuel Santos. It was a
stunning upset for a referendum that was expected to pass overwhelmingly. We
speak to Mario Murillo, a longtime Colombian activist and author of "Colombia
and the United States: War, Unrest, and Destabilization."

Ava DuVernay’s new documentary chronicles how our justice system has been
driven by racism from the days of slavery to today’s era of mass incarceration.
The film, "13th," is named for the constitutional amendment that abolished
slavery with the exception of punishment for crime. The United States accounts
for 5 percent of the world’s population, but 25 percent of its prisoners. In
2014, more than 2 million people were incarcerated in the United States—of
those, 40 percent were African-American men. According to the Sentencing
Project, African-American males born today have a one-in-three chance of going
to prison in their lifetimes if incarceration trends continue. We speak to Ava
DuVernay. Her previous work includes the hit 2014 film "Selma." With "Selma,"
DuVernay became the first African-American female director to have a film
nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

As Ava DuVernay’s new documentary "13th" opens at the New York Film Festival,
we speak to two people featured in the film: Malkia Cyril of the Center for
Media Justice and Kevin Gannon of Grand View University.

The
Atlanta Falcons have certainly become one of the best offenses in the NFL this
season. With Matt Ryan, Tevin Coleman, Julio Jones, and Devonta Freeman leading
the flock, it’s certainly impressive to see the numbers this offense has been
putting up. Can they continue their dominance against some of the best defenses
in the NFL, in their upcoming schedule? Kevin Fishbain takes a look in today’s
“PFW Quick Hit” sponsored by Windy City Wire.

Donald Trump has threatened to sue The New York Times for publishing leaked
pages from his tax returns, and the paper’s executive editor, Dean Baquet, said
he would do so even if it meant risking jail time. We speak with two
investigative journalists who report on Trump’s taxes and describe his legal
threats in letters and phone calls, and their reaction. "Mr. Trump, especially
given the positions he’s staked out ... would represent a really significant
threat to the tradition of an independent free press in the United States," says
David Barstow of The New York Times. "I think Donald Trump represents a clear
and present danger to the liberties of the people, to the idea of the First
Amendment," agrees David Cay Johnston, now a columnist for The Daily Beast.

After
suffering an injury Sunday, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Denver Broncos QB
Trevor Siemian may be out as starting quarterback in the near future. Next man
up and Broncos rookie, QB Paxton Lynch stepped in and looked great against the
Bucs on Sunday leaving many to wonder if Siemian would get his starting job
back, once he has healed from his shoulder injury. Head Coach Gary Kubiak stands
by Siemian as the starter, but it’s certainly something to watch in the coming
weeks.
